Vincent Van Gogh, for whom colour was the main symbol of expression, was born in GrootZundert, Holland in 1853. He was brought up in a cultured family. Vincent was highly emotional and wasn't selfconfident. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, Van Gogh had two unhappy love stories and worked unsuccessfully in Belgium. He remained there to study art, and decided to give happiness by creating beauty. Of the works of his early Dutch period, the most famous is The Potato Eaters.
